John Lawrence Mizzi

This week we lost a special man. John was the beloved son of Lawrence and Carrie Mizzi. Loving husband of Cheryl (McMillan) Mizzi for 48 years and soulmates since the age of 16. Loved and adored father of his three devoted children, Kim Kippen (Steve), Chris Mizzi (Kelly) and Keri-Anne Mizzi (Jeff). Special Papa to Daniel and Christian Kippen and Mackenzie Mizzi. Best friend to his brother Paul (Susan) and uncle to Tayler. Brother-in-law to Carolyn McMillan and Cheryle (late Keith) McMillan and uncle to Jared and Jenn. John worked at London Hydro for 25 years and 12 years at Corix Water Products until his retirement. He loved all sports especially baseball, which he played until the age of 60. Papa John was his grandsons biggest fans, cheering for them at hockey and soccer, while Mackenzie was the apple of his eye. He loved his "Steelers" and "Bruins" and had a soft spot for the "Leafs". Many thanks to our loyal friends and family who stood by us on his long, hard fought battle with Lewy Body Dementia, with his soulmate and proud children by his side every step of the way in his journey. He will be missed by many cousins and friends. John knew the true meaning of life and it would be an understatement to say you were lucky to be in his presence. He was a loving, kind and generous man, with a heart of gold, matched with a smile that lit up a room and sense of humour second to none. Special thanks to Dr. Wynott and the staff at Glendale Crossing for their compassion and support, especially the "Byron Team", over the last two years. In lieu of flowers, a donation to The Alzheimer's Society in his memory would be greatly appreciated. A private family service will be held at Woodland Cemetery. A Celebration of Life to follow at a later date.

Cheryl and Family
John was a fun loving and kind person. I remember him in high school driving his Cobra.
Sending you my deepest condolences.

I have watched how dedicated and loyal Cheryl and John's family has been since meeting them at Victoria Hospital then Parkwood and finally Glendale. You have been such good companions on this difficult journey with John. We'll miss you at Glendale but I know John is in a better place where he awaits to dance again.
